I hope and pray that there is no further lurch towards authoritarianism in this country as a result of this terrible attack.

Heavenly Father, please place your healing hands on Annaick and bring her back to her friends and family safe and sound. Be with the families of those who have lost their lives in this attack. Be with those injured, giving courage and inspiration. Father, please place your protection over Great Britain that this attack would be the end of it. In the name of your son, the Lord Jesus Christ, we ask this prayer. Amen

there's been nowhere near 40 confirmed dead - not even close

Sky news is reporting 45 people killed and upt to 1,000 injured (150) serious.
At least this is what is being reported in Fox News here in the STates

They just reported the dead officially, at least 40 dead spread across the stations and bus and as many as 1000 persons hurt.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S. law enforcement official says at least 40 people have been killed following a series of explosions in London.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because British officials haven't yet made public the death toll. The official says U.S. authorities learned of the number from their British counterparts.

Hospital officials say hundreds of people were injured in the explosions on London's subway system and a bus.

City hospitals report they are treating more than 300 people for injuries from today's four explosions. A senior police official puts the number of serious injuries at about 150.

Police say traces of explosives have been found at two of the blast sites.

Panicked and bloodied passengers and witnesses fled the blast sites. One witness says there was debris everywhere, much of it splintered glass.

British leader Tony Blair is returning to London from Scotland, saying it's clear the "barbaric" attacks were timed to coincide with the G-8 summit.

politics?? nothing to do with it,these people would blow you up if you never grew a beard,their ideology is twisted and perverse,they enjoy killing people,they enjoy killing children,why??.........only creature i can think of who celebrates with them is lucifer

Yet those of us who didn't illegally invade Iraq - and don't grow beards - haven't been hit. Probably a coincidence.

There is now a thread in the General Political Discussion forum for debate about the matter. Let's leave this thread for updates and condolences, and take the debate there.




Condolences again to all involved.

 

[Talie]

the OFFICIAL total is still nowhere near 40 - despite what some countries may be reporting

Sorry, Zoot - I'll take it to the other thread!

What about those attacks in (I've forgotten the country) where the Australians were vacationing? I'd say those count!

I think it was a discotheque in Indonesia.

 

[White Horse]

This is not politics dear, this is ideology and this is not just restricted to west but everywhere who are opposed to this ideology.

Bingo

 

[amazed_by_grace]

A reminder that official figures are roughly 12 dead and 150 seriously injured and that speculation is not helpful..

[amazed_by_grace]

I believe you're referring to the bombing in Bali.

 

[Plan 9]

Is there any new information from the BBC, please?

Australians: they have issued a NEW contact number if you're unable to contact your loved ones in London - disreguard the 1300 number released earlier, the number you now need to call is 1800 002 214
